Export and import keyword lists
You can export and import keyword lists to share with other Aperture users and transfer to
other Aperture systems. You can also create keyword lists for specific projects and then import
them as needed. When you export a keyword list, all your keywords are placed in a simple tab-
delimited text (.txt) file. The tab-delimited list is set up in a hierarchical structure that matches
the hierarchical structure of the Keywords HUD.

Organize photos by people using Faces
Faces overview
As image libraries grow, locating photos of specific people becomes increasingly challenging.
Typically, this painstaking process involves combing through your entire image library and
adding keywords to each photo to identify all the people in it. Aperture helps automate this
process using powerful face detection and face recognition technology, called Faces.
